Mickey Kaye,
You asked us to talk you through a PPL price.
Firstly we cheat.
We use motorgliders- Grob 109 and Dimona as well as Slingsby Venture for the basic training - their fuel burn is much lower and hence the training rate is cheaper. The Grob and Dimona perform as well in the cruise as the Cessnas which we also have
We do a PPL on the TMGs and then do the difference training to SEP. That way you end up with with a JAR SEP PPL much cheaper.
Hope you follow this.
